What would be your top 5? I’m sure that’s hard to pick I just would like to experience more of my country.

My top five and my suggestions for five aren't the same, for what it's worth. I've never been to Alaska and Hawaii and assume most people are referring to the contiguous states. For the sake of diversity:

Yellowstone, Zion, Everglades, Olympic, Gateway Arch Mammoth Cave

Going to Zion, Bryce, and Arches next month. I can’t tell you how hyped I am.

You are gonna love it out there, I went on a road trip through there + grand canyon recently. Easily one of the greatest things I've ever experienced

Hopefully it's exactly as hyped as I was for my first trip to Utah. I don't see how anyone could possibly be more hyped than I was. I can't wait to go back!

Went there last summer and got the two day before lottery for angels landing. Recomend giving it a shot, the hike was not that bad.

You'll pass right through capital reef on your way from Bryce to arches. Canyon lands is like,right there as well. Have some nice hiking shoes and a good change of shoes if you decide to hike the narrows in Zion. I made the mistake of not having a good change of shoes and had to hang my shoes to air dry and it took wayyyy too long to air dry in the car and my feet got stinky and shoes didn't dry all the way.

Zion is fantastic, both in the sun and the snow. Going to Bryce next month myself. Been wanting to for years.
